Early Dine Menu Prices

Early Dine is Texas Roadhouse's weekday value program offering discounted entrées Monday through Thursday before 6:00 PM local time. For budget-conscious diners, Early Dine represents the single best way to enjoy hand-cut steaks, fried chicken, and ribs at prices well below regular dinner menu rates.

The Early Dine 6 oz Sirloin is the headline offer — typically priced under eleven dollars with one included side. Compared to the regular dinner sirloin price, Early Dine saves three to five dollars per plate. The Early Dine Grilled BBQ Chicken and Country Fried Chicken options provide poultry alternatives at similar discount levels. Early Dine ribs (half slab) deliver the full Texas Roadhouse BBQ experience at a reduced early-bird rate.

To maximize Early Dine value, arrive before 6 PM and mention the special when seated. Some locations experience high Early Dine traffic between 4 PM and 5:30 PM — arriving early reduces wait times. Early Dine includes one side rather than two (as combo meals do), but the lower entrée price often makes the total check competitive with combo pricing.

Early Dine specials generally cannot be combined with coupons, military discounts, or other promotions. They are also unavailable on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and most holidays. If you are planning a family outing on a weekday, Early Dine can feed a family of four for significantly less than standard dinner pricing — pair Early Dine entrées with shared appetizers and the complimentary roll basket for a complete experience.

Nutritionally, Early Dine items carry the same calorie profiles as their regular-menu counterparts — the discount is purely price-based, not portion-reduced. A 6 oz Early Dine sirloin still contains approximately 340 calories before sides. Add a loaded baked potato and you are looking at 600–800 calories total.
